How I Met Your Mother: Drunk Train

I love how the past few days it has been Valentine's Day in TV Land. Even the HIMYM crew are affected by it. Let's see how.

They are at the bar feeling Lily's belly kick. Ted and Barney are recapping their night of being eachother's wing men. Ted spent most of the night trying to pick up a girl by all of the normal cliches. He asked about small dumb things that didn't matter. By the end of the night the girl told him she felt like they were such good friends, she didn't want to ruin it with meaningless sex.

Meanwhile, Barney had been trying to pick up this girl Quinn all night and she wasnt having it. Played brilliantly by Becki Newton (Amanda from Ugly Betty, gosh I miss that show) she ended up sleeping with him anyways after describing in detail how sad Barney's life really was. "Do you practice the dark arts?". In the end she is really a stripper at Barney's favorite strip club. She is into him and he is into her.

Barney and Ted ride the LIRR or what they call the drunk train. All of the bridge and tunnel crowd ride this last train out of the city and are completely drunk and vulnerable. After a bunch of slaps and drinks thrown in their face by these trashy, Guido girls "What you think you're better than me?". Barney and Ted try to make an equation that will get them laid on it. They come up with GET DRUNK when all the variables line up. They get drunk and the girls love them, but Barney is too into Quinn.

Meanwhile, Lily and Marshall and Robyn and Kevin are going away for the weekend. While they are there, Lily and Marshall talk about how to make a successful relationship last. They cannot focus on old fights or keep score. They decide to work together as a team since they are having a baby. Dream sequence to 8 months later where the baby is crying and Lily says "Its your turn, hope its a soupy one!" hahaha.

Kevin decides to propose to Robyn. She doesn't know what to say, so she asks to think about it. She ends up telling Lily and Marshall after being told not to. They let it slip while ordering onion rings, saying I do and other random funny stuff. She tells Lily and Marshall she cant have kids and that is why she is hesitant. She ends up telling Kevin and he says he does not care and proposes over and over again. He tells her that his mom picked out the date, the venue and the florist and his aunt will be singing.

Robyn tells him again that not only can she NOT have kids she doesn't want them. Now he is not sure and he breaks off the engagement. She goes up to the roof to have a smoke and up comes Ted. They talk about what happened and he consoles her. She then asks him who would ever want to be with her knowing this and he says "I would. Robyn I love you" BOMB DROPPED. Really?

I was not happy with Ted's confession. We all know that Robyn is Barney's and that throughout the season he tells his future kids about AUNT Robyn. What are they trying to do here CBS? Who do you think Robyn should end up with?
